Why the double standard?

President Obama traveled to Ft. Hood today to attend a memorial service for those slain there last Thursday. I was struck by something he said during his prepared remarks:

But this much we do know - no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor.

It appears the president is treating this horrendous act as a murder committed by a nut. He is quick to discount the strong possibility that terrorism is involved.
He was certainly quick to render judgment on the Cambridge, Massachusetts police department last summer:

...that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home.
